I really enjoyed how easy she was to listen to and the fact that she was very knowledgeable of the area. She stated the facts and didn't make you feel like a bad SLP for not always agreeing etc with other professionals.

The information provided was equally important for those individuals who are new to the profession and those individuals who have been in the profession, for some time, and appreciate periodic reviews of our Code of Ethics.

It was much more than the typical, droll, repetitive excursis on the code of ethics. It was a discussion that related ethical standards to very real everyday problems. It seemed like the speaker was less concerned with "obey these rules" and more interested in encouraging her listeners to THINK. I admire that greatly!
